This was such a lovely cottage and we had a great time! The host, Pauline, is clearly very experienced and thought of all sorts of things to have on hand, as well as to tell people about the house and all of it was very helpful. The house was also very nicely furnished and had a nice outdoor space on the back patio.Given there was only 1 bathroom it might be a little tight for more than 2-3 people, but for us, a couple, it was the perfect space and we enjoyed the location as well, which was close to a park and only about a mile to downtown. We’ll be back the next time we’re in SLO!

We stayed here while moving our daughter into her sorority house this September and really enjoyed our stay - Great property in a good location. The house is so cozy with everything we needed. Very well laid out and lots of storage. The back yard was perfect for our dog. Easy access to downtown and the university. One of the best VRBO properties we have stayed in.
I now need a fort porch swing for my house too!!

Great location and house

The house was as described - very cute, newly renovated and has everything we wanted. Shared backyard was not a problem. Couldn't believe how close we were to everything - downtown dining, hikes near 101, and wineries! The house is 1/4 block off a main drag to downtown and wineries (other direction). neighborhood is older but well maintained/renovated and 2 blocks from a beautiful park.

Nice, clean place in a quiet neighborhood

Really nice place for a short stay. The place was clean, appropriately appointed and worked out well. Only issue was with the plumbing/hot water. The hot water required several minutes to warm up. That means washing hands or a couple dishes was a cold water affair. Since we allowed the shower to warm up (also several minutes) and took back-to-back showers, that worked out okay but the water was barely warm enough for a tolerable shower. The issue was documented in the on-site literature but it's something that kept this from being a 5 star experience.

Memorable stay @ 664 Caudill St in SLO

We had so much fun at this little house, wonderfully designed and decorated for our stay in San Luis Obispo, as the babysitters for our daughter’s bachelor and bachelorette party with all of our family. We babysat two 16 month olds had a three year old. The house is simply put together, so it was simple to move out of the way any breakables. There are very few sharp edges and corners to worry about! 😉 The back and front yards are just a dream! Beautifully landscaped, and completely fenced in, front and back. Our toddlers had so much fun! Thank you, Pauline! I took some decorating tips from you for our bed and breakfast!

Nice enough but could be a little better

Nice quiet place but there are some things I thought could be improved and a big one not communicated through the ad. There is a cottage in the backyard that looks to be used full time by either the owner or other bookings. My issue is this was not mentioned in the ad at the time of booking. I happened to see a portion of it in one of the photos and asked the host about it, she was upfront about it, but it should be mentioned in the ad. If you feel like you'll have the property to yourself, you won't. The house was not clean. Floors and the area rug were dirty. The shower had stains, and when showering, the plumbing cannot keep up and fills the tub with water within a couple of minutes of use. The couch had crumbs on it like someone had just snacked there. If the host hired a maids service for the cleaning, they should demand their money back. Other than those issues it was a pleasant experience. It's a quiet neighborhood and the host is responsive. Good size kitchen, and BBQ in the backyard. Very close to downtown SLO but far enough that sound isn't an issue. It was the perfect size for our small party and one of the few houses I found to allow dogs.
